If my expectation is around 80-90km on highway, would wave 125i suffice?
also, if you're in kl, i'm looking on sprint and ldp side of highway .. its more for safety and not rempit style, as my current bike is around 60++, so it's dangerous for me in highway, especially if it's not jam, but not-not jam as well( kl-ian know what i talk about .. when suddenly a stretch open up and everyone speed up to rush to work scenario) and/or if i'm stuck behind lorries and cant overtake them...

Your budget how much first? Will you consider second hand market also?

i'm thinking first hand cause i dont want breakdown halfway ... budget-wise, not much at the moment, that why shortlisted wave 125i.

i'm planning for installment style anyway... just that i'm still 50-50 due to "best bang for my buck" mindset... lol

If you're planning to pay by instalment might as well go for RSX, 125cc bikes really do not differ that much from 110cc bikes and for the most part, you're still running a cub that only needs 1 bottle of EO every 2000 - 5000 kms, depending on the type of oil you use and riding style. ABS is also there so there's that one extra layer of protection for hydroplaning.

Going to 150cc you really start to get some significant equipment and frame upgrades even though at this point they are indeed a bit overpriced *cough cough MYR 15k Y16*. LED lights start becoming standard and generally the bikes are noticeably more stable. Monthly repayment difference also not that high and you're still paying RM2 road tax.

You want to cheap out on the ABS can go for RS150 oso.

Since you are living in Klang Valley can also consider the Modenas Pulsars since there are plenty of spare parts to go around here with at least two known workshops specialising in the Bajaj rebadges but beware the significant increase in tire sizes and the fact that you will be using 2 cans of oil for each service interval and the increase in road tax. Or you can also go for SYM VF3i if you need the front bucket container and do not mind the RM 30 roadtax.
